Smooth Touch Scroll is a jQuery plugin that scrolls content horizontally left or right when you swipe it with your finger. As the name of the plugin hints the scrolling is completely smooth - no distict steps. The interface is super clean - no buttons, links or anything else that just gets in the way.

If this plugin feels familiar, you may have used Smooth Div Scroll to present smooth scrolling content on your webpage. If Smooth Div Scroll is the Swiss Army Knife of smooth scrolling, Smooth Touch Scroll is the lightweight cousin, slimmed down and geared towards touch scrolling. Smooth Touch Scroll will still work on desktop computers that don't have touch (using drag scrolling) but it's primarily for touch devices.

Here's a quick demo of Smooth Touch Scroll in action. Of course you get the best experience if you use it on a touch device, but if you don't have one you can still use it by dragging the content with the mouse.

In this particular demo I've set one option that overrides the default option: continuousScrolling: true. This means that there will be no stop at the right or left edge of the scroller - continuous scrolling.

In this example there's no space between the elements inside the scrollable area. If you want a space between them, use padding and not margin since margin tends to generate errors in Internet Explorer.
